I need some help. An inpatient had an appendectomy and was released the next day. The surgeon and first assist are both part of the same surgical team. The patient now is re admitted for abdominal abscess and the first assist is doing a consult on the patient along with three days of progress notes. The surgeon now takes the patient back to the or for a wash out and another procedure.

The question is...
1. are the consult and progress notes considered post op after the re admission?
